the RHEMA word..

But the Word of God says that He knows our ways, and when He has tested us, we will emerge stronger and closer to Him (Job 23:10), and we can how we can emerge victorious is really to seek new revelations from Him ALL the time! (Job 23:12).

This is however not easy.. for we need to be patient and faithful (Ps 27:14) for our victory. My faith is small, and patience sometimes eludes me.. i'm the sort who wants patience, and i want it now! Haha..so it really is difficult, but God is good all the time to cover our shortcomings.

I want to share my meditation on Ps 19. Its so amazing, and God reminded me again of how glorious He is. Ps 19:1-2 shows how great God is. Though this is just 2 verses (there's an expanded version i think, but can't find it now ;p), it shows God's glory in nature, how the sky, the stars, and the seas know their places because God made it so. The book of Job has quite a detailed account in the last few chapters. I feel God is just reminding me again, how great He is, and comparatively, our problems are very minor and nothing as obstacles, if we would only seek God first and be quick to obey, and also learn to rely on His wisdom. Ps19:7-11 tells us about following the ways of God, and how it leads to great rewards, prospers our soul and endures forever. Indeed, much more better than the earthly treasures we seek. So as we seek to draw closer to God and His ways, our godly treasures will come. How much more so the earthly treasures. So let's be focused on the right things always, and God will also empower and equip us with earthly treasures, to use as tools for His purpose, to help others, and create heaven on earth.

Ps19:12 reminds me again, to always let God help me search my heart, and cleanse me, lest i have some secret faults i'm not aware of. Maybe i could be hung up on some incident, some past mistake, or whatever.. let God point out to me, that i may know and move on. We need wisdom to do so, and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge => wisdom! Pro 1:7

[Ps 19:13] talks about presumptuous sins, which i think Pst Kong has shared about before. Ashamedly, i can't remember much about it, maybe someone can add more about this. But what i felt when i read this is that always be careful. If necessary, take a pause and think about our lives, decisions, actions, habits, responses to others. Are we commiting any sins unknowingly? something that we always do, but perhaps originate from a sinful intent or source? Like sometimes i used to be slow to obey.. because i thought i could always do it later, God is always there anyway. But actually, the source is that i took God's grace, mercy and love for granted, and so i procrastinated, allowing for even more temptations to come along the way.

Ps19:14 focuses us once again.. 'words of my mouth' talks about our speech, words of confession, or even msg we bring across to others, 'meditation of my heart' speaks of our belief, our faith, our intents in our hearts, our thought-life, and our mental focus. Let these both ALWAYS be God-centered, seeking to please Him and drawing closer to be like Jesus by following in His ways.

Ps 19 is a really wonderful Psalm. Do meditate on it.. i'm sure you'll have your own revelations which can be different from mine. =)
Let's all go the Next Level with God! Amen!

oh by the way, just wanted to thank God for coming through for me.. and enabling me to fulfill my building fund pledge! Praise the Lord!!

I strongly encourage to quickly fulfill your pledges if you haven't. Be faithful and trust God, and He will surely show you a path amazing beyond your imagination! Leaning out on faith, I'm trusting God again this month to help me through all the challenges i face, and empower me with His grace to shine for Him in the workplace and glorify Him. Amen! Thank you God! ^_^

With His Love,
